A CORRESPONDENTS The Fond du Lac
Commonwealth finds fault with the dairy
map in the Wisconsin Blue book. He
SAYS: ON the first place, Fond du Lac
county made about 100000 pounds of
cheese more than was reported, while
Sheboygan gets credit for q great deal
which she did not make, giving her a
prominence in this industry not justly
earned. We are proud to have the state
known as the garden of the world, where
cheese is made that is not excelled any
where, but when the cheese roll-call is
made up we want it known that Fond
du Lac county, with not a factory in it
making skim cheese, takes its place at

The D,llaway Cadets,

Lieutenants Godfrey D'llaway has insti-
tuted a permanent organization in hi
company OF young ladies known as the
Dillaway Cadets. The idea was conceived
several months ago and "waitrr IS" dril
given. Then the girls decided on boldtr
measures and were rugged out in full dr. IS
ZoIave uniforms, given genuine rifles and
bayonets to carry, and were drilled in way
which has made them as near perfect as
one could expect and fit rivals of the
Girardin Cadets of Jersey City, who have
been challenged to competitive drill. The
ladies made their first public appearance
in military dress Wednesday evening at
Metropolitan Hall, the occasion being the
strawberry and cream festival of the Lin
den avenue NJ. E. church. The drill was
repeated Thursday evening The Dillaway
Cadets have proved themselves worthy of
a detailed description, aud we give it. The
company is one of seventeen Young ladies
of the Methodist church; their names are,
in marching order, Eliza Simpson, Olive
Bugdler, Hattie Robinson, Laura Robin
son, Jennie Cafoll, Laura Smith, Annie
Campbell, Annie Kleen, Anna Armstrong,
Mamie Walker, Lu Anderson, Edith Jones,
Ida Lewis, Zella Jaccard, and Jennie Wau-
tiers. Jessie Dellaway is the g daughter of
the regiment and carries fine silken flag
presented to the cadets by Mr. Lockwood,
The urifCrn worn consists of a scarlet
flowing skirt trimmed with heavy white
brold, navy blue jacket with braid, red
turban and tasssl, regulation cross-straps
and belt, with buckle of brass with their
initial 3D.. The rifles carried are fitted
with wooden barrels to tighten the weight.
At $50 Wednesday evening they marched
on the floor of the rink, headep by Lieu
tenant. Dillaway in field uniform. As they
drew up in line and faced the great aadi-
ence the applause was deafening, and grew
in volume as the difficult manual of arms
and military manBavres were given with
out a break or error. The performance
was really remarkable and the scores of
military men III the seats made more noise
than any one.

A Visit to His Home--A Quiet Farmhouse on the
Shnlmit Of a Mountain.
Twenty-Five years ago. says an At
lantic letter, Gen. James Lonsstreet
was a man of blood. The one object
of his life vas the slaughter of men.
What a change has comel Perfect
peace surround the old soldier In the
evening of his lite, Aquiet far m-house
stands on the summit of a mountain
ridge in North Georgia. Before it lies
the valley of the Cbattahoochee. The
ground descends rapidly, and from
the home of Longstreet one looks
down upon the tree-tops. For miles
and miles stretches a restless sec of
green, tanned this way and that ,way
by the mountain winds. Beyond rises
q range OF hills, and further still are
the Blue Ridge mountains, darkly
! lined against the sky. As | APP
preached the house | saw no sign Of
lite save n pickaninny in the horse lot
and some ine-looking chickens in the
yard.
Lees old war horse came down
| the hall to meet me His hair was Sill
! yer. His whiskers we're snow His
| giant figure was somewhat bent, but
| his eagle-eye still flashed with the old
| time hre, and years had only deepen
ed the strong lines in his face, He was
| dressed for comfort. He did not care
| that his collar was awry that his vest
adorned a chairpost, that his alpaca
coat vas ripped in the back. he did
not care that his slippers vent "fap,
flap, flap" against his heels as he
walked. i did not care either.
Nobody here to-day but me" said
| the old warrior, as he showed ME into
the library, where he had been sleep
| ing on a lounge. Ispent a quiet after
noon with my old friend. He talked
to me about the war and showed me
his old confederate uniform.
Il shall put it on some day and
have my picture TAKEN he said.
"Have you had enough OF war;"
asked.
"Yes, plenty on my W account,
he replied; but ifFrance and Germany
shonld come to blows l would like TO
90 over and see Won Moltke fight. :
Gen, Longstreet is wonderfully like
the pictures of Emperor William. A
friend travelling in Europe sent him a
large photograph of the Germ an Em-
peror, and Mrs. Longstreet's cook be-
fieves to this day it is a picture OF her
'Marse Jeems."
Theseneral's fortune is rather small,
but he ives comfortably. He divides
his time between a vineyard and a
history which ne is now writing. The
history will be out in about year.
It will contain some very startling
statements about the late war. The
book will be made up mainly OF ac-
counts OF adventures in the wars III
which Gen. Longstreet has taken part.
Gen. Longstreet is charming in con-
yersation. though he is very deaf.
Mrs. Longstreet is a vivacions little
LADY,. and of course, quite proud oil
